I just installed in my FT1000MP Mark V W8JI's recommended click-modification per the instructions on his website: http://www.w8ji.com/ft1000mk_v.htm Comparing the before and after modification RF key
I put some "before and after" keying waveform images for the W8JI FT-1000MP MKV key-click mod. Keying waveforms for both the normal "mid-word" rising edge, and the "hard-edge" leading character are s
Mike, W4EF................................. P.S. I've checked Tom's instructions several times to make sure that I followed them correctly. I couldn't find any discrepancies between what I did to the
Mike: I am on the road at the moment Mike, but I would like to check out my modified radio when I get back to Idaho next week. I hope some other folks take the time to look at their radio as well. L
"Keying waveforms for both the normal "mid-word" rising edge, and the "hard-edge" leading character are shown. The radio still clicks pretty bad, but only on the leading characters that follow a word
The oscilloscope I used was measuring the RF envelope directly (I had a cascade of high-power RF attenuators between the output of the FT1K MKV and the oscilloscope input). The scope was being trigge

Guy, I just re-tested my FT1K MKV with the menu settings adjusted for maximum delay (7-4 = 30ms and 7-5 = 5.1 seconds). It made NO difference I must have some other problem. I am going to have to pul
but only longer Most radios hold off the transmitter until the synthesizer settles. A few radios are design flawed in this area and allow the radio to transmit while the synthesizer is moving to the
Hi Tom, I'll give that a try. The FT1K MKV accepts a 0 to -4V external ALC input. It should a simple matter to hook up an external supply and then examine how an ALC "preset" voltage effects the lead

"It's really a shame manufacturers don't install a manual gain control for the transmitter IF strip." The IC-7800 does! _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@co
